I agree with you. Did this guy do something bad? Absolutely. Does he deserve the punishment that's coming to him? I think he does. However the media has a bias they way they treat black criminals and white criminals.

We've all seen it. When a white person shoots up a school, the first question that's asks is something like "what drove him to do such a thing?" or "he must have had some issues at home." It's never the same vitriol that we see to describe a black person when he commits an even lesser crime.

Check Edit, and yeah, you're entirely correct.

I'm just asking for people to be real with their biases and to be consistent.

Keep the same energy when a cop does something heinous. Keep the same energy when a white guy does something crazy.
